Verizon has lowered their unlimited data plan from $45 to $30 per month for several of their PDAs. Call verizon or check online to find out if your phone qualifies for the lowered price.
If your PDA is not yet added it probably will be soon. You may want to check again in a few days.
Below is a list of PDAs which have been confirmed compatible with this new plan
The $29.99/month unlimited plan does not support Exchange, which should primarily impact enterprise users. The new data plan will provide unlimited access to the web and up to 10 personal e-mail accounts, including free Internet email providers such as Windows Live, AOL and Yahoo.
Are you tethering? Under this new plan tethering goes from $15 a month to $30. If you want to tether for free with this new plan, GOOGLE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.

What about unlimited usage on the air cards?

Isn't their "unlimited usage" really limited to 5 GB per month?

It's not showing up as an option for my i760. I wonder if it will take a while for their website to update the information or do I need to call AGAIN.

I just called up and had it lowered to $30 for My i760. Last time I checked (2 months ago) it wasn't available on the i760 yet. Thanks OP!

And how, exactly, are they doing this?
Windows Mobile will let you sync to any incoming and outgoing mail server you please. Are they reading your message traffic and if the mail server isn't on their "free personal e-mail provider" whitelist, they charge out the wazoo for it?
What happens when I http to a webmail server to read my mail?
Verizon needs to DIAF for these shenanigans.

You are correct...blocking syncs with Exchange would only truly work if they read your traffic. This would probably be illegal in most states, but you never know with the way things are going. That said, they could just block the standard Exchange port. Beyond that, they could allow Exchange but disable features like push email/calendar/etc. notification. This is one of the largest reasons to use an exchange server on a mobile device, and it only works properly if everybody supports the same "push" features. Maybe this plan doesn't support those features so push won't work?

VW is a really shady company. They have a lot of grey areas in their pricing and plans. I have call them virtually every month to have adjustments made to my account. Ther is no reason to have different pirces for the unlimited data plans for different PDAs and cell phone. Why can they not have a simple pricing model?

You may have a point, but doesn't ATT do the exact same thing with the iphone?

BTW, I am using MS exchange server-based data just fine with this plan.
